Chapter 140: Mechanism is Mechanism! It's Not Like It's the First Day!

A wave of alien offensive and defensive on the double line directly caused the game rhythm to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Both sides had a second tower pushed down, which meant that the minion line of one side was very easy to be brought into the extremely deep enemy abdomen, which would be a huge test for the split-pushing end.

But the audience who knew the LCK style all knew.

The operation of the transition period is the foundation of the Korean team!

Logically speaking, this time point would be the time period when T1 could display their proficient style, truly gradually turning the situation around, and dragging it to the time when their strong period arrived.

The Korean commentator standing in the God's-eye view was preparing to appreciate T1's beautiful operation skills.

But suddenly found that T1's lineup seemed a bit contradictory.

"T1 in this game, seems to have no heroes that can actively find rhythm?" The Roaring Emperor said somewhat hesitantly.

"Maokai's strong initiation ability relies on Flash, Viktor mainly plays positional warfare, Camille has to split-push and develop first, and the support is a Yuumi..."

"Yes," Wolf naturally saw it long ago, his expression was a bit cold: "The first game was because the opponent's Caitlyn system progressed too smoothly, this game, it's that we lack a role to find rhythm."

"Is this the opponent's draft design..."

T1's most proficient transition period operation relies on the team's keen sense of smell and extremely strong discipline, constantly nibbling opportunities in strong attack and strong defense.

In a word, it's that you can't catch my people, but I can catch your people!

But why can they do these?

Ye Bo was very curious about this, so he read a lot of T1's match videos and noticed some clues.

Finally summarized into three points.

First, it is still the team's extremely strong discipline, like a connected steel plate.

But this point, in the mid-term operation of the first game, had already begun to appear, it seems that as long as the mid lane is suppressed and it is difficult to be distracted, the steel plate will appear cracks of disintegration.

Second, the strong laning hard strength of the three lanes, often can play a single-person advantage in the laning phase, and then play a positional breakthrough in the transition period.

This point, in this game, has also been unable to be effective.

T1 picked a lineup with a slow early game rhythm, and was also hit by the opponent's perfect early game offensive, now there is no lane with a positional advantage.

The third is the support!

In T1's command, Faker is the key decision-making and monitoring for leaks, a command biased towards defense and the overall situation.

But the implementer of the main attack is not the jungler Oner.

It is the support Keria.

Ye Bo discovered that this support player has a very strong desire to do things, the first game was also like this, even causing the ADC to be hung alone frequently in the mid-term.

Then, what is the meaning of Yuumi?

Yuumi is a hero who has no way to "do things."

For some teams whose supports are prone to sudden death or have shortcomings, this might be an advantage, and it is also the best way to smooth out the "support gap."

But at least for a team like T1, this will make them lack a rhythm starter!

If it's an advantage game, it's not a big problem.

But if it's this kind of disadvantage game, the rhythm defect of lacking a starter will soon be highlighted!

Why banning Azir is also for this reason — because Azir possesses the ability to actively find rhythm, while Viktor does not.

Equivalent to, T1's two most important rhythm power-up points, were both curbed by the lineup they picked in this game.

Although Ye Bo is still learning in terms of transition operation, he also has his own advantages.

He is very good at learning.

And can fully exert the advantages of the hero.

"Nunu swapped for Weakness, once again caught Camille on the side lane! Zeus really wants to fight 1v1 but just can't hit!"

"Now the super long minion lines in the top and bottom lanes mean huge pressure for T1!"

"T1 organized several offensives against the mid first tower in succession trying to force the opponent to shift the center of gravity, however EDG responded very cleverly, not falling for your trap at all, and even frequently able to swap for resources on the side lane..."

"Wait, this resource trade-off and operation method, why do I feel a bit like T1's path?!"

Doll agreed with his partner's view very much: "Now it seems that T1 has a feeling of tying themselves up, swapping the side lane second towers is helping them make up for the economy, but instead causes the mid-term operation to be tied up!"

14 minutes, side lanes frequently appeared leaks, Nunu's attack route was really difficult to guard against, the economic gap had been rolled to 5k.

But the LCK commentary desk was still very optimistic.

They believed that T1's lineup would bring its own economic advantage when it reached 20 minutes.

Dragging it down, as long as they can resist EDG's strongest wave of offensive in the mid-term, they can turn the situation around!

Approaching the 15-minute third small dragon team fight, and it happened to be the refresh of the second Rift Herald, two key resource team fights refreshed together.

This is destined to be the most critical turning point.

T1's deployment was to let Camille go to the upper half of the map to wait for an opportunity to steal the Rift Herald, they tried to delay in the lower half of the map, and even let the jungler snatch the small dragon.

If EDG dispersed personnel to defend, Camille would directly use TP to join the small dragon team fight to play a number difference — Camille's TP is 40 seconds faster than Aatrox!

This is Li Li Xianghe's key decision again, using the only opportunity that can be used at the moment, wanting to perform a forced resource swap.

But Nunu pushed the ball down again at this time.

The target pointed directly at Viktor, who was bringing Yuumi and bringing the line in the bottom lane!

"Nunu is here again! Is the target Viktor this time!"

"Because their own top laner's TP isn't ready, this wave EDG should want to hit a reduction in personnel first, and be able to control two key map resources at the same time..."

"But this wave, within ten steps behind, there is Maokai protecting closely, Viktor seems to be using himself as bait!"

Viego also touched over from above, and Hallowed Mist was released.

But the Maokai hidden in the back immediately hit the vine boundary of the ultimate skill!

"Find the jungler!"

Don't look at Nunu as an output equipment, but holding a Stopwatch + Q recovery + ultimate big shield, it is by no means an easy task for two people to kill him.

In comparison, although Viego has a Hexdrinker on his body, he is definitely easier to kill.

More importantly, even if they can't cause a kill on Viego, as long as they can make the jungler lose combat power, even if they have to pay the price of the mid-jungle double R, they can still swap for at least one epic jungle monster resource.

Whether it is the second vanguard, or the third dragon.

Can drag at least five minutes of stable rest for T1!

Dragging the original 20-minute showdown to 25 minutes or even 30 minutes, completely dragging it to the lineup's power-up period.

This is Viktor using himself as bait!

"Barrier! Use ultimate to run!" Ye Bo felt something was wrong.

The extreme snowball rolled over, Viktor immediately flashed to the side.

T1 duo was extremely decisive, Maokai didn't have any information about Viego in the Hallowed Mist at all, but directly "blindly" flashed into the mist, accurately W-bound and locked!

Barrier's reaction was also very fast, 【Heartbreaker】 forced {Untargetable} shot.

But Maokai's W has a "Lock-on Follow" mechanism.

Although Maokai's strong initiation ability is not as good as Sejuani, in terms of fixed-point gank ability, this Flash W skill can be called an uncounterable stunt!

Viego landed and was bound, then Q knocked up and hit back, while the giant tree boundary in the back had already spread to supplement the root.

Viktor followed up with Gravity Field, fully exerting arcane magic.

Ye Bo just threw the snowball, preparing to turn his head to go to the rescue, trying to use the ultimate + Everfrost control to charge the ultimate to swap for a head... but only saw Viego's full health bar, weirdly disappearing instantly!

Ye Bo's eyes flashed, and he could only turn his head and retreat hurriedly.

"Damn it! This Hexdrinker seems not to have triggered again!" Barrier cursed, his tone somewhat aggrieved.

Not just him.

There were also Ye Bo and the T1 duo on the opposite side, and the commentary desks of both sides, all noticed this detail.

"It's this bug mechanism of Hexdrinker again!" Doll almost missed his mouth.

"Feeling that if Hexdrinker triggered, Nunu could come over to fight, the opponent's skills were all used up, no way to interrupt Nunu's ultimate!"

"This might lose the small dragon!"

【Damn, it's this stupid bug again, it harmed my Top Esports brother to the 9th place! Now it's here to pit EDG, unfair, unfair!】

【As everyone knows, if it's not changed, it's a mechanism, this has been how many years, still bug?】

【Top Esports fans are really anxious, NBA referee misjudgment is just telling you afterwards, really expecting a rematch to come to a two-star 16th place?】

【Anyway, the official is really cowardly, their own region's two teams were pitted by this bug and didn't appeal, if this game loses because of this wave, it definitely counts as an off-field kill!】

【Mechanism is mechanism, it's not like it was there today!】

【That's right, that's right, this wave isn't Faker's operation cow? What does it have to do with bug or not?】

Speaking of which, this is an episode of the group stage on the first day of the second round.

After Top Esports became "Vietnam's fermented bean curd," Top Esports fans couldn't accept it, watching the recording over and over again, trying to find the culprit.

The result was naturally that they all did it.

It's just that, there was actually a point that could be argued — in the last wave of demolishing the base, Karthus's ultimate killed Lucian, and Lucian's Hexdrinker didn't seem to trigger.

Suspected of triggering a bug!

So some Top Esports fans thought it was all Hexdrinker's fault!

Of course, later, people with clear eyes reviewed it and knew that whether that Hexdrinker triggered or not couldn't change the result at all.

Because the revived mid lane Sett of GAM had already hugged Lucian away, even if Lucian wasn't sung to death by Karthus, he couldn't AA the base anymore, and would be smashed to death by Sett's two punches.

But until today, the official hadn't given any explanation for whether that wave was a bug or not.

It just so happened that Hexdrinker was almost the only "output-type magic resistance equipment

The price is cheap, the attributes are explosive, even if you pretend there is no shield, the cost-performance ratio is still very high.

So even if everyone clearly knows, as long as there is a lot of AP, it really is something that must be produced.

Li Li Xianghe indeed felt that his damage just now was wrong, even with the cat's blessing, it shouldn't be possible to instantly kill a Viego with a Maw of Malmortius at full health.

But this wave was undoubtedly T1's opportunity.

"Come over and take this dragon!"

Although both mid and jungle had no double summoner spells and ultimate skills, after all, the opponent was missing one person, and it was missing a jungler.

There was no reason not to take this small dragon.

As long as the small dragon rhythm could be interrupted, EDG would need at least 25 minutes to force a dragon soul team fight, and 30 minutes to force an Elder Dragon team fight.

The situation that had already nearly collapsed.

Seemed to suddenly clear up after a wave of Viktor using himself as bait.

"Are we going to the Rift Herald?" Meiko asked.

"... I feel like we can try," Ye Bo responded: "At least I can try to grab it."

"Then come!"

The crowd didn't say much and moved together.

Ye Bo's confidence was not groundless either.

Maokai handed over all his skills; as long as W couldn't bind the key carry, he actually didn't have strong combat power.

Viktor, on the other hand, had no ultimate skill, but his combat power in this kind of positional battle was still very strong.

But in this wave, both of them had no Flash.

As long as they could open it, there was still a good chance of killing.

Not to mention he was Nunu—full-level Q skill, having a full 1200 points of true damage to jungle monsters!

The evolved Smite, however, was only 900 points of true damage.

And there was no Baron in this wave, even if he failed to grab it, the worst consequence was acceptable.

And the most important core of releasing the cat system is that one must speed up the rhythm and try not to let the game enter after 30 minutes.

Then this dragon was crucial.

Once the cat's power was fully released, it would show what an OP hero of the version is, and only then could it really be the beginning of a comeback.

Since there were risks.

Ye Bo believed that trying in this wave was actually the time with the least risk.

"EDG doesn't seem to be ready to concede! Are they trying to fight 4 against 5!?"

"Not necessarily, it's possible they just want to cover Nunu to try to grab it, after all, Maokai has no ultimate skill, actually it's not easy to keep people..."

"Nunu changed to a Cleanse, sigh? Not changing to Smite?"

Just over 15 minutes, the small dragon refreshed.

T1 saw Nunu change {Flash} to {Cleanse}, and had already guessed that the opponent wanted to come and fight.

But because they were worried that the resurrected Viego would arrive, it was impossible to stalemate for too long, so they had to start the dragon immediately.

"Pull it out and fight, be careful of Renata's ultimate skill, and pay attention to the snowman!" Li Li Xianghe marked the signal methodically.

"I can go and watch him!" Zeus volunteered.

But Nunu hadn't appeared on the screen yet.

The health of the small dragon dropped rapidly.

The EDG crowd wasn't worried about the opponent forcibly opening, after all, they had Renata's ultimate skill to counter, and if Camille dared to come up alone to open, it would easily lead to disconnection.

And at this time, Nunu had already quietly pushed a snowball from the outer wall below the dragon pit.

"Seal it with the ultimate skill!"

Renata understood and sprinkled the Chemtech toxic mist forward.

The T1 crowd was full of discipline and quickly pulled back neatly.

But at this time, the vision of the grass outside the red buff above the dragon pit suddenly saw a snow-white figure.

"Snowman, snowman, snowman! The snowman is here!"

That figure pushing the snowball was extremely fast, and even pressed {Cleanse} out of thin air to obtain the acceleration of {Celerity}, the nitrogen movement speed soared again!

The only strange thing is... Nunu's position.

Is this preparing to push the ball and make a big turn?

You know, the outer wall of the small dragon pit is a big corner of more than 180°.

Can the snowball bypass it like this?

But Zeus didn't think so much, without any hesitation, he used the long-range wall-sucking Hookshot, preparing to step on it to intercept!

But, just at the moment the Hookshot was kicked out.

That figure pushing the snowball revealed a strange golden light—actually, "flashed" down from the wall!

More accurately.

It was, pushing a huge snowball, flashed down.

The figure of Camille kicked out missed, but the three people and one cat behind were in big trouble!

They saw Nunu and were still thinking about how the opponent would bypass that wall.

No one would have thought that Nunu could come down like this!

There was no reaction time at all, the huge snowball was like an ice nuclear warhead, crashing into the three people face-to-face and knocking them up!

Followed by Frostbite on the spot.

{Absolute Zero} guided the terrifying blizzard to condense!

What was even more terrifying was that the Chemtech toxic mist in the back had already spread...

"What is this! It's over! It exploded!" The Roaring Emperor shouted in disbelief.

"Ah ah ah ah ah! It's a bug!" Wolf next door let out a marmot scream.

It didn't look like he had just understood that the Maw of Malmortius didn't trigger and was playing dead without speaking.

And just as his voice fell, the game suddenly fell into a gray-screen pause.

"Paused! Paused! This is a bug!"

"Nunu's W cannot use Flash! Using it is a bug!"

For the first time, five shouts of surprise also came from the T1 team language.

The one who called the pause was {T1-Keria}, because he was the most idle cat.

The referee didn't even need to ask the reason, and walked directly towards the EDG direction to ask.

Because, the operation of {Nunu pushing the ball and flashing} actually appeared as early as 2019.

At that time, it was indeed because of the bug of {Hexflash} that it could be used.

But at that time, Hexflash was not developed for Nunu; the earliest was actually Sion's ultimate skill "crazy 365-degree turn" operation, Lissandra's E Hexflash E thousand-mile flash, or even Ornn's W wall-passing...

It's just that Nunu left the deepest impression on people.

And the bug of Hexflash had already been fixed as early as 2019, so obviously, even if Ye Bo wanted to use it, he couldn't.

So the referee who came to ask even had a curious tone.

"How did you do it?"

Ye Bo generously used the special software of the competition computer to reproduce the operation.

Actually, this was also something he just discovered.

The matter had to start from the first wave of using Ghost to chase Camille.

At that time, after he pressed to use the Ghost changed by {Unsealed Spellbook}, he suddenly keenly noticed that his originally gray Flash... lit up!

When changing skills for the second time, he specifically paid attention and found that it was indeed the case.

So, he thought of this operation.

"I guess, it might be that the skill changed by Unsealed Spellbook, after being used, changes back to Flash, which is equivalent to changing to a 'new skill' in terms of mechanism, so it unlocked the use. After all, during the W guidance process, it is originally possible to use all Summoner Spells except the original Flash..."

Ye Bo talked eloquently to the referee, telling his understanding and speculation.

He actually didn't think so much just now, just felt that this was an operation that was very consistent with the mechanism principle.

Didn't expect it to cause a pause.

The referee finished reading the principle carefully.

Obviously, he was also a bit stunned and fell into thought.

Bug or mechanism, it is really difficult to judge.

Does the {Cassiopeia reverse R-Flash} that was explicitly fixed by Riot as a bug count as a bug?

Does the {Jayce E knock back to the original place} that might be fixed in the future count as a bug?

Lee Sin Q, ward-hop W, then Q again, can use all other skills in the air of Q2, does this count as a bug?

These are all techniques widely used by many professional players; is it possible to decide whether it is a bug just because many people use it and who uses it?

So.

The judgment of bugs by competition referees generally only has one rule—

"In the text description of the skill, as long as it is not explicitly written that it is not allowed, then it is allowed."

Which is the "everything not forbidden is permitted" of the League world.

According to this standard.

Obviously, in the skill text of Nunu's W, there is no description like "Flash cannot be used during guidance."

The resident referee soon understood the pros and cons.

Mainly, even the Maw of Malmortius, which is obviously a bug, is not restricted.

Now, for this operation that really cannot be determined whether it is a bug, making any temporary restrictions is obviously an unfair decision.

This is New York, not Korea... how can there be a reason to add rules on the spot?

Even if it is to be changed, it must be something after this game is finished.

Soon, the final result was conveyed to all major commentary desks.

The Roaring Emperor's expression was a bit shocked, but his professional spirit quickly adjusted back to his emotions.

"First, let me inform everyone about the situation. According to the judgment of the on-site referee, it is confirmed that there is no problem with the match and no game loopholes appeared."

"In that case, perhaps we are witnessing a brand new operation technique created!"

Before the Roaring Emperor finished speaking, the countdown to return had already started on the field.

Wolf hadn't even recovered, and had already seen the T1 five, who were knocked up by the snowball, landed, ate Frostbite, and then were connected by the toxic mist...

Absolute Zero accumulated the blizzard.

Destroying the world, in an instant, the triple kill resounded through the canyon!

Wolf opened his mouth wide, his face full of shock: "Pizza! This is completely pizza!"

"What on earth does Ye want to do! Is this to destroy T1's home!?"

The wind direction on the barrage suddenly turned.

The two groups of people just now almost instantly swapped their faces.

【Just wanted to say where are you E-ing, holy crap, nice brother, awesome awesome!】

【Unfair, unfair! Xiba, this is unfair! Rematch! Rematch!】

【Good good good, rematch again, right? Addicted to MSI rematch?】

【This is our T1 legendary rematch team, anyway, if you can't beat them, rematch, 35 delay can rematch, operations you don't know can also rematch, just rematch to a nine-time champion!】

【Xiba! Strongly suggest Riot add a rule, all strange operations in the future must be reported in advance, otherwise treat it as a cheat and directly judge a loss!】

【Agree, I also suggest adding a rule, deduct 300 gold coins if you switch screens more than 10 times in the future, judge a loss if you don't use skins in the competition! This is a problem that affects Riot selling skins!】

【If you want to rollback, shouldn't it be from the wave where Viego died? Classic, your own unfairness is harmless, the enemy's unfairness is a matter of life and death!】

Hearing the notification, the T1 crowd on the other side also calmed down.

They certainly knew that there could be no unexpected factors in a competition of this occasion, and everything was checked at will afterwards, so there could be no fakes.

That is to say.

That was indeed a "technique" that could be reproduced.

This led to a very terrifying fact.

This meant the opponent could come again in the next wave!

Not to mention that after this wave was finished, the balance of the match had actually completely tilted to the end...

EDG made a quadruple kill and turned around to successfully take the second Rift Herald.

Directly rushed to the top high ground that had already been exposed, and broke the crystal in one go!

Breaking the high ground all the way meant that someone would be forcibly bound in the upper half area and would always need to deal with a wave of super minions.

The already stretched lineup operation completely lost balance.

T1 could only helplessly start a turtle strategy, and the economic gap became wider and wider.

20 minutes and 30 seconds.

EDG took the water dragon soul on time and turned to attack Baron.

The T1 five simply cleared the high ground minion lane and gathered to prepare to fight hard to resist.

But, when they walked into the river and looked at Nunu, who was pushing the snowball again.

The five people instantly had their hair stand on end!

But they didn't know how the operation was triggered; in fact, Nunu didn't use Unsealed Spellbook in this wave...

"Stand apart, stand apart!" Li Li Xianghe didn't care and instructed Maokai to step forward to intercept: "Interrupt him, grab him back and we can kill him!"

So what if he can Flash W, just interrupt the snowball.

Oner decisively flashed W diagonally to forcibly hug Nunu.

But Nunu used "Flash W" again.

It's just that this time, it wasn't the "Flash W" of "pushing the snowball"—but rather letting go of the snowball first, and then "reverse flashing" behind him!

{Abandon ball W Flash}!

The big snowball rolled forward, forcing back the enemy troops pressing forward to support from the rear with full deterrent power.

And the Twisted Treant... was tightly followed by the Flash and brought back into the crowd!

So you're the one who uses yourself as bait, right?

"Nunu's fishing law enforcement! He brought Maokai back, Maokai was instantly killed!"

"EDG is going to directly open Baron... wait, no!?"

"What does Nunu want to do!"

The cat's full-level W can give 21% ability power to both sides of the mount.

Under the blessing of the full-AP cat with Luden's, Viktor's development until now, in fact, the damage can no longer be underestimated.

And Viktor's most powerful terrain is the positional battle of the dragon pits.

Faker accelerated and rushed forward with the cat's ultimate skill, ER laser split-shot the dragon pit, and at the same time laid a gravity field at the entrance to block the road, sealing the five enemies inside the dragon pit!

But just at this time... inside EDG's dragon pit, three golden lights suddenly flashed outward!

Three Flashes escaped the dragon pit, Kalista grabbed the Pokéball and rushed to smash it!

Li Li Xianghe was not surprised but happy.

"They are anxious, retreat, retreat, pull away first!"

Viktor, with his own strength, forced out three Flashes and two ultimate skills from the opponent, and also prevented the opponent from taking the dragon, and also gained an advantage in health.

As long as the opponent didn't dare to continue Baron in this wave, the opportunity for the jungler to be killed could be made up, and there would be the next opportunity.

The four fled towards the direction of their own blue zone.

But Li Li Xianghe suddenly noticed one thing.

Someone was missing.

Immediately after, just when the T1 crowd stepped into their own jungle entrance, everyone instantly felt the soles of their feet suddenly frozen, making it difficult to move their steps.

There was no change in vision and special effects.

But everyone knew what this was.

"Axi-ba!"

"Nu!!! Nu!!!"

After walking into the dragon pit, Nunu didn't take the dragon, but used the ward placed by the minion lane that broke through the top high ground to quietly TP behind.

Nunu's minion lane walked into the jungle, and then used Hexflash to charge behind the wall.

Sneaked to the entrance grass.

This place could just perfectly cover the entrance range of the jungle.

And when the T1 crowd just came over, they had already scanned this area, and there was no preparation.

Of course.

The most important thing was that they never thought that there would be a Nunu who would perform a completely unexpected TP behind in such a situation.

And the three people who flashed out from the dragon pit—naturally, they were just to drive the prey into the icy hell.

The terrifying full-charge Absolute Zero seemed to want to freeze all life within the range.

The sky was full of snowflakes, mixed with blood.

Except for the cat who died one step late.

The T1 five soon met again in the fountain.

The EDG five went all the way through the high ground that had already been broken in the top lane, brought it all the way up, and smashed T1's base crystal into a pile of fragments!

The giant VICTORY character appeared behind the red side player seats.

In an instant, the whole venue boiled!
